Owner Review: "Delivered! 2025 4Runner SR5 w/ 3rd Row Seats - Owner Impressions, Pics, MPG Figures"

It is...for a WOMAN.

 

I am still mad society and my wife collectively think I can no longer have fanny pack.

 

You know, come to think of it, I have bought a number of vehicles(all new) in the past 3-4 years. never once did I get asked by the dealership if I wanted to take glamour shots like that. Maybe it's because I don't wear such handy man accessories?

 

What are you carrying in there? Don’t you have pockets in your clothes?

 

... and that's why we buy 4Runners!

 

Same here. Could be because the dealer doesn’t like me anymore for beating them up on pricing and just wants me out of there. The feeling is mutual.

 

I wanted to ask that too but I'm glad someone else had the same thought.

 

Maybe we are just no good looking folks. Not everyone is blessed in that department.

 

Wearing a man bag is considered good looking?

 

Your wife is simply trying to save you from yourself.

Hope she doesn't let you leave the house wearing plaids mixed with stripes as well.

 

No clue how fashion works these days, but since I never got asked to take photos when I take delivery of a vehicle, clearly whatever I'm doing is not it

 

The dealership took a picture of the dude and his wife because he was wearing a man bag/purse, and they're probably making fun of him like we're doing here.

Consider yourself lucky.

 

You jerks, clearly you are just jealous you don't get the attention these guys get. I bet icebear and this guy get all the chicks.

 

she has stopped me going out in public wearing much worse combinations than that.

 

Good woman.

 

Or they're yelling this:

 

Which seats? The front?

 

Video was borderline painful...
The son acting like a Junior High schooler who is trying to show off his new "toy" to all his buddies and being giddy about it. Yikes.... Just wanna tell him to calm TF down and stop being so hyper and bouncy.

 

That’s his shtick. He’s the young kid working with the old dudes.
I like that crew because they buy their own vehicles so they can beat on them and do whatever they want without the manufacturer having any say unlike other reviewers that just get a loaner from the manufacturer to test drive.

 

People give them all sorts of shit but I don't see many other channels do towing and offroad tests like these guys. For free content people need to tempt down their expectations.

 

Of course I do! I don’t use it all the time, but it’s handy to have one thing to grab heading out the door for my wallet, headphones and a variety of “nice to haves” rather than stuffing them all into 2-4 pockets and digging around as need be.

Guest appearances may include water, a small tablet, cables, sunglasses, battery, whatever I might want or need at the time but that’s more for traveling or with less access to my car rather than on a daily basis.

Heck, it’s putting in work carrying shopping bags for the girlfriend as I type, hands free!

The second row - the 5th gen had a different second row depending on whether it was a 2 or 3 row model. The 3 row 2nd row folded forward (seat bottom doesn’t fold up) and could slide forward or back both for facilitating access and more legroom in the 3rd row. You had a flat, slightly slanted and elevated load floor in that case.

 

I hope you're not testicle-free as well. We're beginning to have our doubts about you. First you admit that you carry a man purse, now you're carrying bags for your girlfriend?
Stepford Boy should be your new nickname.

 

They have, arguably, the best TRUCK videos on the internet when it comes to real world tests and lack of bias.
I like it much better when its just the 3 guys, adding the overly joyous son into the mix is probably trying to appeal to the younger audiences on YT. The manner in which they do the videos lately, how he talks, the big hand movements and over exaggerative manner of talking is very indicative of "mr beast" videos that excite the YT algorithms and draw in younger audiences but do absolutely nothing to appeal to us, the older normal crowd. The info they give, the tests they do, are still better than you'll get anywhere else.

 

Oh ok. I have 3rd row in my 2023 and usually adjust the second row to give some extra room for the 3rd row child.

 

To be fair he has been telling us his gentle nature via his username all along.

@icebear we are just making the best of hump day.

 

I'm just sayin, in my experience the ones that bad mouth something the most in public are the first to do it on the DL. LMAO.

 

Nope. Neither me nor my husband carries a man purse...or cross body bag, if you prefer! LOL!

 

So long as the girlfriend draws the line at making him jump through hoops or balance a ball on his nose, it's all good. Different strokes for different folks and all that...

 

LMAO, i don't care what one calls it. I wouldn't even carry my wallet if that damn pesky driving with a license law wasn't a thing. LOL.
